Let me know what you think of the PGR Games and would you want to see the older ones like PGR1 or 2 covered on the channel? Have a wonderful day everyone ♥️

The Snowy Nurburgring is terrifying Also, attention to detail for speedometer of each vehicle is pretty neat

PGR2 was my favorite time on xbl, it was one of the only racing games at the time you could play online so EVERYONE who raced at the time played it. Man, that game and community was so damn fun

This game is really from an era when it felt like the game developers knew what kind of details would work well. Things like the speedometer are a cool touch that just adds to the immersion, especially when you don't want to drive using the cockpit view. Great video!

I have met a lot of people who preferred this to Forza. I am one of those people. I would love to see this franchise get revived.

God I love PGR, PGR3 and 4 still hold up today and look perfectly serviceable. It's such a pity the series died when it did because there's such a drought of competent Arcade racers at this point in time.

PGR 4 - one of the best Arcade Racer of all Time. Spend so much Time with this, back in the 360 Days.. 🎉

PGR 4 to this day has the most realistic and accurate sounds of any racing game to date. The car list was also perfectly done as all of the car classes have enough variation and differences where it never feels stale. You almost forget you can't upgrade your cars on this game with how fun it is.

I remember playing hours of "cat and mouse" at nordschleife in PGR. 2 teams, each one with a mini, the rest are hypercars. 1st mini across the line, wins. Everyone else is either blocking the other teams mini, or pushing theirs. Absolute madness.

Why does this game look so fricking good man? This looks like a drive club if it was made in 2007. The attention to detail is great and the lighting is just spectacular. Even the weather is in the game and for 2007 standards i think that was really impressive cuz forza received the dynamic weather in 2014! Thats 7 years apart! The game engine they used here is just pure magic if you ask me. Also the developers were really talented. I might hop on this game again. I really enjoyed the graphics and the scenery of it.

loved PGR4, every single car or bike felt unique. I really enjoyed the sledgehammer corvette and the EVO

The graphical jump from 3 to 4 is insane!!! 4 looks essentially like I imagined 3 would look back in March 2005. Unfortunately I played PGR3 for six months straight online until Bizarre for whatever reason changed the online tournaments. I never found the time for PGR4, only played the demo. Sooo, Microsoft, where the hell is the Series X backwards compatibility???

PGR 2 showroom is goated, when you consider the time. Playing PGR2 at the height of early Xbox Live was amazing with all the chat between everyone and a community that was super active and competitive

This is still one of my favorite racing games of all time. Every car felt different, the dynamic weather was amazing (especially fog), and the environments and circuits were just and interesting and well thought out as the cars. Such a shame the series died after this game

I fell in love with PGR3 first before PGR4. They both have special place in my heart. Can’t believe Microsoft abandoned this.

Project gotham had a vibe that no other racing game series has come close to beating, very sad that it got abandoned.

PGR3 & 4 taught me so much about racing theory when I was a kid. Brings a tear to my eye every time I play it.

PGR2 on XBL with my friends was one of the best times online. We set out to get top 100 on all tracks. We would come home after school and put in laps for hours. The CLK-GTR, GT1, and SPEED 12 were my favorites. Driving the Enzo was awesome too! Even the “slower” cars EVOs, STIs, GTRs all felt so balanced.

If only these games were added to the Xbox backwards compatability list. I still have my OG Xbox and 360 but sseeing them on One and Series X/S would bring a new generation to the series.

PGR2 remains one of the best racing games ever made. I adore 4 for including bikes, but the tracks and the way the career progresses in 2 are even better.

I loved PGR3, first game I play on the 360 back in december 2005. The graphical jump coming from the PS2/Xbox was really something, especially if you had an HD TV.

PGR 2 had a showroom you could walk around in and see all the cars you unlocked and even take them for a test drive. It looked a lot like an international auto show.

I had MSR as a child and have played all the PGR Franchise games. Wonderful in it's time, I remember the third installment being my favorite, I still believe I'm #11 on the leaderboards there. lol

I love the PGR series. It was the best and maybe still the best multiplayer racing game of all time.

This is where the addiction to video games started playing Cat and Mouse on PGR 2 with Xbox Live and the little flimsy headset, my Dad and I would play for hours.

i still remember playing pgr4 with my brother and there was a certain track that had a crest/bump near the end of a long ass straight, we'd time it right so that whoever was on the bike got over the crest right as the player in the car hit the bottom of the bike and launched them into the air, such a fun game even when played properly

It took me years to know the Guia Grand Prix circuit is like separately licensed to other games like RACE PRO, making PGR4 Macau uncompleted.

As everybody else mentioned, the amount of detail in this game is insane. The map in Saint Petersburg is the most detailed map of a Russian city EVER made in a game. For some reason, Bizzare Creations didn’t care about any copyright infringements at the time, so St Petersburg map is copying everything from the real life, including the vulgar graffitis on the walls! You can compare it to the real world map in Google street view to find all the shops in their right spots, McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Calvin Klein, even the underground casino’s sign is precisely where it was in 2007! This game actually shocks me

I've played PGR 4 quiet a lot. It's a Shame, that these Series was buried so early... 😔

I think the reason this game is so enjoyable is due to the 'fun' ethos of its developer Bizarre Creations. Whitelight actually mentioned in his Blur video that towards the closing days of Bizarre, several employees felt that they would never work at a studio like it ever again. But at least some of them went to Playground Games after the closure.

PGR 3 was the first 360 game my dad bought along with the console. I’ve got some good memories and have the menu theme burned into my head lmao

Love how much like Test Drive, your Tach in the corner of the screen is in style of the car you are driving thats the bit of detial I loved with a passion from Test Drive 1 and 2.

Used to play Project Gotham religiously. We even invented a popular game mode through the online mode. Everybody was broken into teams of 2. Each team was designated a colour and would have to choose 1 mini cooper and 1 supercar. Whatever team got their mini cooper across first was the winner. Supercars were used to push your Mini Cooper faster or take out other teams mini coopers. We called it Cat and Mouse and became pretty popular.

I used to play football with the guys from Bizarre Creations in Liverpool, very early 2000s. A great bunch of guys and girls. I used to work in 1 unit away on the Tech Park.

PGR4 was great fun online. Loved the Subaru 22b and the RUF RK Coupe handled like a dream. ST Petersburg was awesome fun.

Bro. These videos are soo good. Something no game has ever succeeded after pgr4 was the car enthusiasts dream lists of available cars and the game had airy and atmospheric car sounds, something I miss on current games. The car sounds alone was worth playing for.

Watching this video really shines a light on how great the environment of PGR was, driving down city roads plastered with adverts and people watching in the crowd just makes the world feel so lived in. As time went on, seeing anything like this beyond 2009 is very rare. I dunno, as much as I love the Forza Horizon games, besides the first one, I didn't feel like there was a connection between the festival and races but if you boot up PGR4 from 2007, I can feel like people went to go see a race event in the middle of New York, London, Tokyo, etc. PGR4 feels very grounded. Great Video DoVe, I really enjoyed it. I might dust of my copy of PGR4 and play it soon

Metropolis Street Racer was he game that got me into racing games all together. After playing MSR, PGR, PGR2, PGR3, and PGR4, I think MSR and PGR2 were the best in the group. MSR probably for nostalgia reasons, but PGR2 just had a great mix of locations, cars, music, etc.

I absolutely loved this game and Bizarre Creations holds a special place in my heart since they also made Formula 1 97, my favorite F1 game of all times. I miss these days.

There's just something about hurtling cars around a snow-covered nordschliefe while late 2000s music like Kittie plays

Drop hours on project Gotham racing the car collection you learn those cars by doing the drifts and the kudos system trying to Max it out trying to see how fast the car can go how fast the car can slide how it performed against other vehicles in its class racing around different cities. I honestly wish there were more car games like this game where you can drive around the city and every type of car sports car trying to see what it can do with the fun rewarding point system I would buy a game I told you about the racing today right now

could just imagine how good that series whould be now man i would buy it today if it came out.

PGR3 was the first game I ever played on XBOX360 at a car show. Loved it soo much that this Playstation fan boy got a XBOX360 instead of a PS3 (Circa 2007?). I got PGR4 and played it for hours.😊

Really enjoyed the Video. The Editor did an Fantastic Job. What i really liked about Games like PGR and for example Test Drive too is the Attention To Detail with the Different Speedometers fitted to the cars. Maybe with the New Test Drive, we will hopefully see the Feature return

playing online with your mates was great too, you had so many options to play around with, weather, time of day, what cars/bikes, track reverse/mirrored, lap size and you could set what vehicles the Bots would be driving. if you wanted 30 laps in snow with every vehicle being a mini you can. superb racing game that i miss so much.

I only played PGR4 never had the opportunity to play the others but it was so much fun I’d love to see it come back with a new game or just a new gen remaster

i'm mostly a sim racer, but PGR 3 and 4 are still the most fun i had online. the idea of over powering the strengths of each vehicle made for so many position changes during a race. the tracks are still amongst the best even today.

No batmobile, feels bad. Also "Catalina Lopes" as a Portuguese name just gave me ligma 💀 Great video as always dove, I love discovering old titles like this

4:02 Well its hard to find it today. Back in 2000s it wasnt uncommon. This was the Tony Hawk and dirt 2 era mind you. The clean soulless whiteboxes of todays games werent really a thing back then.

“This game was oozing with style” and so does this video. Really enjoy the new video format lately, keep uuuup 🫵🏻

Takes me back to when i got my XBOX360 in 2008, i played this, GTA4 and Saints Row 1 tons, i miss those days

I love this game. The theme song and the intro video is stuck in my head. Many many years later

Ah man this was my main game for a couple of years. Loved the black FXX in "bulldog" - was a blast.

Am I the only one reminded of Driveclub by this game? Or rather, vice versa. Beautiful graphics, skin editor, dynamic weather, multiple "hub" locations with many different route variants, a points system where you're awarded for driving stunts... Driveclub also had the bikes expansion but I don't think you could race bikes against cars like you can in PGR4.

PGR2 was and still is my all time favourite arcade racer

didn't even need to see the game before I know what you were talking about. I had Metropolis Street Racer on Dreamcast (probably still do somewhere haha) which is where the franchise started. The driving physics and presentation were all there even back then. Kudos for the video sir! ;)

I never played 1, but PGR2, 3, and 4, were all way ahead of their time. Absolutely brilliant games.

Thanks! This video brought back some great memories! I went to check my old games collection and sure enough, I still have my old copies of PGR 1 and 3!

PGR2 was a masterpiece. Cone challenges on platinum baby!

I still play PGR4 TO THIS DAY on Xbox 360 with my Thrustmaster Ferrari Wheel!!!! It is one of the only games with split-screen racing with cars v.s. motorcycles, lots of fun for drifting through Tokyo at night 😎😎

Awesome racing game, It always felt a little more serious compare to other racing games at the time. I remember re-visiting the game on the mobile version for the Zune HD, played that soooo much

I remember buying this game and wanting to returned it at first. But we gave it another shot, learned how the driving mechanics worked and then it became an obsession. We freaking loved it. PGR4 and Grand Turismo for PS2 are the All time best racing games 😎💪

It was all about PGR2. We created 'Cat & Mouse'. It was incredible. We managed to organise teams in random lobbies with strangers. Truely a different era, and different community, when gaming wasn't mainstream.

I adored PGR3. I wish I could still play it on Series X. I used to hold top-10 positions on the Nordschleife in most classes

Man this brings back memories playing PGR 2 everyday just going into the showroom and seeing so many cool cars and test driving them

PGR was my go-to racer back in the day, loved the handling, it had a nice balance of sim and arcade where you didn't feel like you were playing a cartoon like Burnout but you could also be quick without a steering wheel setup unlike today. If you nailed the throttle in a rear drive car it would kick the tail out, if you lifted mid corner it would tuck the nose in, it felt real but forgiving and fun. I liked the urban racetracks that gave you lots of nice breaking references unlike sims of the day where you just had a few marker boards at racetrack corners. I also loved the fact the cars couldn't be altered, you chose your car and learned how to drive it, a Caterham and an AC Cobra had to be driven very differently and lap times could be directly compared to others in the same car. Nice range of options too from short to long races, eliminators, one on ones, top speed challenges etc, the only thing I wasn't a fan of were the fecking cone challenges... Great game, I tried the first 2 Forza's but they just didn't do it for me so I bailed on racing games.

I forgot all about this game I used to walk around my garages and I discovered geometry wars and I’d just play that after I got all the cars I wanted That mini game is my favorite game ever

Topped the kudos leaderboards with my roommates back in the day. Still have Xbox live friends from that daily grind. Good times.

Fun fact: Playground games' Initially pitched making a project gotham racing reboot before deciding at the end to go for forza horizon.

PGR 1 for the original xbox was the 1st game i ever played when i was 4 years old. I dont know how i figured it out back then but i liked it. I've played all 4 games, and it has been my all time favorite racing series since

one of the best racing series of all time. absolutely love pgr 2 3 and 4. i think driveclub on ps4 was a sort of spiritual successor to pgr. you could tell that the developers vere big fans of the pgr series in their game.

project gotham racing is the only reason I know geometry wars and I will never forget it

This game still has the most accurate representation of Shanghai. It surreal seeing the streets you walk pass every day being turned into virtual racetracks, even after all these years.

Man, I played the heck out of PGR 1 and 2 but never played 3 and 4. Never looked them up either, no idea why. I remember them being extremely hard at higher difficulties, but that's probably part me being a teenager with little racing game experience. This video made me excited to play 3 and 4, gonna try to get them and bring the 360 out of storage!

Ive been replaying PGR4 lately on my old 360! Its still AMAZING. Gaming unironically levelled off at the 360 era. Its still perfectly food today

i remember playing this game back in 2009 on xbox 360 i was in love with it, alot of cars and motos to unlock and many places to explore and beautiful yet bizzare vibe the game gives you while playing and in the menu, i can safely say this game is way ahead of it's time, it's so sad it was never brought back again, wish we can see it again.

You just unlocked a memory for me. I loved PGR i couldn’t play it enough as a kid

Wow. PRG2 with the expansion pack..online...to this day the BEST online fun I ever had..

It's actually my first racing franchise and played all 4 games. I enjoyed it.

And not mentioned, but: the menu music is Prodigy - Shadow...

Love the art of rally soundtrack in the background, great video :)

Having bikes and car together was the #1 reason I liked the game.

A racing game and a shmup built-in? All it needs is a fighting game part and it ticks all my gaming boxes.

Wow project gotham, that takes me back to a memory i had burried for a long time. Good job on this video! I really thought PGR was gonna take off into many many sequels, it had the potential.

I absolutely LOVE this game, THE PHYSICS, THE VEHICLES, THE HOLY DIFFICULTY LEVELS. THIS GAME IS VERY GOOD

My favourite racing franchise. I've been there since MSR. I wish Microsoft would hand over the license to Codemasters' GRID team - I'm sure they could pull it off.

The car models, for how old this game is, look so damn good! It’s a shame I never played this!

I have both PGR3 and PGR4, and I still enjoy them despite owning an RTX 4090/13700K gaming PC. I mention that to accentuate the contrast of my point: when a game is fun and has lots of impressive details, frame rate and graphics comes secondary!

Art of Rally soundtrack in backgrounds 😅 0:36

I guess i was the only 1 that LOVED the nurburgring in the snow then? And the bike with the helicopter engine, great fun🤘

I owned PGR 1 and 4. The first game holds a special place in my heart, it had this incredibly immersive atmosphere, and the soundtrack was amazing. The forth game however, was an ambitious piece of art, they put in so much into it, it's ridiculous. There's so much content in that game. Really sad to see the end of series like this.

Great to see this game getting some love. Absolutely love it and I'm replaying it RN :) Also Blur is very fun! Besides the AI getting some tweaks, I wouldn't change anything :D I hope we get a new one :(

"life begins at 170"... Loved this game

as a kid who played pgr and forza 1/2 ... i thought they were made by the same people 😂

Never knew of this game's existence. Thought it was about people street racing in Gotham city while batman tries to stop them or something like that kek.

Damn I miss this one, even the first on original Xbox when braking the braking calipers would move like WTF the attention to detail there... Also I always heard it was Bill Gate's favorite game, but no idea.

The combination of cars AND bikes in one game like this was so cool and fun. I wish the Forza Horizon series would incorporate something like this

PGR series was a masterpiece, so sad that it's abandoned. Sometimes I wonder if there's really no way to bring it back as remastered. Even in 720p I think it's still playable in today's standards. Gameplay was awesome

10:58 To be fair, you're using a Motorcycle (low top speed) on a track with a massive ass straight, and you were the one to drive into the Ferrari :P

PGR3/4 and Blur will always be my all-time favourite racing games, and it's only now that I learn that they were both made by the same developer. I really don't understand why Blur didn't sell well, it honestly was the most fun I'd had with a racing game since the PGR series. I will forever hope that they will somehow make a comeback.
